Notes: When placing station, aim solar panels towards the sun for best solar power input. Closer planets to the sun will provide more power for the solar panels. Also for the sake of getting better lighting for screen shots, many pictures show this spawned planet side however this is a space only base and not designed to spawn on or above in the atmosphere on a planet.
